On a visit to Treblinka on March
1943 Himmler ordered complete destruction of the corpses that had
been buried in mass graves. The problem was the graves had
700,000 bodies in them (18 ).

Franz Stangl said about his
memories about his arrival at Treblinka, "Treblinka that day
was the most awful thing I saw during all of the Third
Reich…. It was Dante's Inferno…. It was Dante
come to life. When I entered the camp and got out of the car on
the square I stepped knee-deep into money; I didn't know
which way to turn, where to go. I waded in notes, currency,
precious stones, jewelry, clothes. They were everywhere, strewn
all over the square. The smell was indescribable; the hundreds,
no, the thousands of bodies everywhere, decomposing,
putrefying." (19 ).

On April 11 1945 unites of the
third army under General George Patton liberated Buchenwald
concentration camp. More than 5,000 Nazi soldiers fled before
Patton arrived, this left only a half a dozen tower guard to man
the camp. three hours before Patton arrived the prisoners
rebelled and took over the camp. About 250,000 prisoners Pass
through Buchenwald of this 56,565. Though it had no gas chambers
this camp had other ways to kill. Block 46, the Hygienic
Institute of the Waffen SS, conducted medical experiments with
things like typhus. It had a crematorium were prisoners where
strangled or the "Horse Stable," where prisoners were
shot as music blared to muffle the sound of shots(20 ).
